I. Considerações prévias e fundamentação
do projeto Step Up 11 ................................................................... 4
Indo ao encontro do preconizado pelas AE, as autoras nortearam o desenvolvimento do seu traba-
lho, no âmbito deste projeto, na conceção de que a aprendizagem de uma língua estrangeira envolve
os seguintes pressupostos:
Embora respeitando as áreas temáticas/situacionais que estão elencadas nas AE1, o manual
Step Up 11 aborda temáticas abrangentes, de uma forma que se pretende diferenciadora e distintiva,
sem desvirtuar os objetivos de aprendizagem, tendo em mente o que enquadra o documento:
“As AE são o denominador curricular comum para todos os alunos, mas não esgotam o que
um aluno deve fazer ao longo do ano letivo. Não são os mínimos a atingir para a aprovação de um
aluno, são a base comum de referência.
Permitem libertar espaço curricular para que, em cada escola, se possa promover trabalho
articulado entre as AE e as outras aprendizagens previstas nos demais documentos curriculares,
com aprofundamento de temas, explorações interdisciplinares diversificadas, mobilização de com-
ponentes locais do currículo, entre outras opções, no âmbito dos domínios de autonomia curricular.
A aprovação do aluno dependerá sempre das aprendizagens realizadas, decorrentes da arti-
culação entre a base comum de referência e o aprofundamento de outros conteúdos e temas,
articulação essa orientada pelas áreas das competências inscritas no PA.”
http://www.dge.mec.pt/aprendizagens-essenciais
(consultado a 10/01/2021)
A gestão do currículo subjacente a este projeto está alicerçada, de acordo com as AE, em três pilares:
1. Competência comunicativa (que engloba as componentes de compreensão do oral, compreensão
escrita [leitura], interação oral, interação escrita, produção oral e produção escrita), a que subja-
zem as áreas temáticas/situacionais previstas e outras que as autoras consideraram pertinentes;
2. Competência intercultural;
3. Competência estratégica.
Os aspetos formais do sistema linguístico são abordados em contexto, isto é, são proporcionadas
aos alunos oportunidades de exercitar estruturas gramaticais/lexicais o mais próximas possível de
situações de comunicação e da língua inglesa efetivamente em uso.
• ;
• ;
• Manual interativo.
Para o professor
• Manual do professor – igual ao do aluno, com sugestões de gestão curricular e soluções das ativi-
dades nas bandas laterais;
• Workbook do professor – igual ao do aluno, com soluções dos exercícios nas bandas laterais;
• Brochura Step by Step, com propostas de atividades de exploração diferenciada de conteúdos do
manual, para turmas mixed-ability;
• Dossier do professor, que contém:
– planificação (trimestral e semestral) e planos de aula, em formato digital e editável;
– apoio digital (com tutoriais de acesso à Aula Digital e apresentação dos recursos multimédia do
projeto;
– recursos extra e fichas de trabalho (below e above levels) sobre diferentes skills e sobre aspetos
da língua;
– 8 testes de avaliação, que correspondem aos conteúdos trabalhados em cada um dos quatro
módulos, com:
• matrizes;
• critérios de classificação e soluções;
• grelhas de classificação com versão digital em Aula Digital;
– 4 guiões para avaliação da componente oral, um por módulo, com os respetivos critérios de
classificação;
– Rubrics para a avaliação específica das quatro skills, alinhadas com as atividades propostas no
manual;
– MiniProjects extra, que complementam as propostas do manual e que podem ser aplicados no
âmbito da flexibilidade curricular como atividades de DAC;
• ;
Cada um dos restantes quatro módulos é composto por três ou quatro unidades, apresentando,
cada uma delas, atividades que incidem sobre a competência comunicativa (que engloba a compreen-
são do oral, a compreensão escrita, a interação oral, a interação escrita, a produção oral e a produção
escrita), a que subjazem as áreas temáticas/situacionais previstas nas AE. A competência linguística
(os aspetos formais do sistema linguístico), a competência intercultural e a competência estratégica
são trabalhadas, de modo integrado, ao longo dos módulos.
No final do manual, é apresentada uma proposta de Extensive Reading, a partir do poema de Amanda
Gorman The Hill We Climb, com atividades de compreensão escrita e de alargamento a outros supor-
tes, que ajudam a trabalhar e a desenvolver a temática do poema.

OK. DON’T PANIC. DON’T panic. It’s only a VISA bill. It’s a piece of paper; a few numbers.
I mean, just how scary can a few numbers be?

I casually close my eyes and start to tot up. There was that suit in Jigsaw. And there
was dinner with Suze at Quaglino’s. And there was that gorgeous red and yellow rug. The
rug was £200, come to think of it. But it was definitely worth every penny – everyone’s
admired it. Or, at least, Suze has. And the Jigsaw suit was on sale – 30 per cent off. So that
was actually saving money.
Do you want to know about my secret dream? It’s based on a story I once read in The
Daily WorldĂďŽƵƚĂŵŝdžͲƵƉĂƚĂďĂŶŬ͘/ůŽǀĞĚƚŚŝƐƐƚŽƌLJƐŽŵƵĐŚ͕/ĐƵƚŝƚŽƵƚĂŶĚƐƚƵĐŬŝƚ
onto my wardrobe door. Two credit card bills were sent to the wrong people, and – get
this – each person paid the wrong bill without realizing. They paid off each other’s bills
without even checking them.
And ever since I read that story, my secret fantasy has been that the same thing will
happen to me. I mean, I know it sounds unlikely – but if it happened once, it can happen
again, can’t it? Some dotty old woman in Cornwall will be sent my humongous bill and
will pay it without even looking at it. And I’ll be sent her bill for three tins of cat food at
fifty-nine pence each. Which, naturally, I’ll pay without question. Fair’s fair, after all.
2. Find out what the words in bold in the last paragraph refer to in the text.
a. it (line 20) b. it (line 21)
3. Discuss the following with a partner. Then, share your ideas in class.
3.1 Do you have the habit of not controlling the money you spend? Why?/Why not?
3.2 What would you do if you got the wrong credit card bill?
1. Read the title of the text and say what you think “shopping with intention” is. Then, read the
text and see if you were right.

about buying something new, especially if it’s a bargain. It also
may seem hard to resist temptation and sharp marketing tactics,

away… and
Remember that minimalism isn’t about trying to live with as little as possible or never
buying things that make you happy. Saying that you can’t ever go shopping, buy new things
and have fun doing it is NOT what the minimalist life is about.
And, we’ve all bought something that was totally pointless, we didn’t need or we didn’t

The latest assessment report from the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
describes how observed and predicted
changes in climate will adversely affect
billions of people and the ecosystems, natural
resources, and physical infrastructure upon
which they depend. These harmful impacts
include sudden-onset events that pose a
direct threat to human lives and safety, as
well as more gradual forms of environmental
degradation that will undermine access to clean water, food and other key resources that
support human life. As a consequence, climate change will have a profound effect on the
enjoyment of human rights for individuals and communities across the planet. This is not
merely an abstract, future possibility.
The report describes the latest projections and observations of how climate change
impacts and responses can affect the environment, individuals and communities. Some of
the key findings include:
• The impacts of climate change on
freshwater resources, ecosystems,
and human settlements are already:
undermining access to clean water, food,
shelter and other basic human needs,
interfering with livelihoods and displacing
people from their homes.
• These impacts constitute a serious

A good abstract is:
▶ brief, but packed with information
Each sentence must be written with maximum impact in mind. To keep your abstract
short, focus on including the essential points, concepts, or findings.
▶ objective and accurate
The purpose of the abstract is to report rather than comment. It should accurately
reflect what your paper is about. Only include information that is also included in the
body of your paper.
1. Look at the pictures and match them with a suitable emotion from the box.
a. b. c.

Off-world habitat designers work with other specialists and scientists to build
habitable buildings on other worlds. Beginning with scientific space stations, but
soon moving into tourism, Mars was the first planet to be off-world colonized, and
several space stations are already in development with other planets and moons.
There is a need to design complete habitats for these off-world environments.
The off-world habitat designer will have ecological and architectural skills and understandings
and be creative in how they meet the challenges and possibilities in off-world locations. They
will also have high-level communication skills as they will be designing alongside others.

Part B – Reading
You are going to read an article about advertising.
In advertising, there’s a big difference between pushing the truth and making false claims.
Many companies have been caught using wild claims like “scientifically proven” and with
“guaranteed results”. For companies that cross the line, this can fairly cost millions and lead
to a damaged reputation. Some companies have already had difficult experiences first-hand.
5 Strangely enough, some don’t seem to have learnt from it.
L'Oréal claimed its skincare products were “clinically proven” to “boost genes”.

You are going to read a text about the COP26 climate summit.
/ŶtĂƐŚŝŶŐƚŽŶ͕ĞŝũŝŶŐ͕EĞǁĞůŚŝĂŶĚďĞLJŽŶĚ͕ŐŽǀĞƌŶŵĞŶƚƐĨĂĐĞĐŽŶĨůŝĐƚŝŶŐĨŽƌĐĞƐʹƉŽůŝƚŝĐĂů͕
social and economic – that will shape their next steps in the effort to avert a climate crisis.
After all the rousing speeches and bitter negotiations, the celebrity appearances and the
parade of promises to protect this and invest in that, now what? Will the Glasgow summit
5 make any difference in bending the arc of global warming? Well, that depends on at least
four things.
First, what will leaders, starting with President Biden, do in key national capitals? Will
Biden persuade Congress to pass his main climate legislation, known as the Build Back
Better Act? Likewise, will the leaders of big polluter countries shift their policies at home to
10 meet some of the big promises made, whether that’s cutting methane emissions (China) or
boosting renewable energy sources (India) or reversing deforestation (Brazil) or vague
net-zero goals by mid-century (Russia and India)? All these ese pledges are voluntary.
“They’re all in the ether,” Simon Stiell, the environment minister of Grenada told
me the morning after the summit.
15 Second, chiefly in democracies, how much pressure will they
tivists
face from their citizens? A generation of angry young activists
has been pushing politicians and corporate bosses to address ress
the climate crisis, not only on the streets but also in the courts,
urts,
where citizens groups in a variety of countries have sued their
20 governments and, in one instance, Shell, one of the world’s rld’s
biggest oil companies. Whether and how quickly governments ents
and private companies respond remains to be seen.
Third, business. A coalition of the world’s biggest est
investors, which collectively controls $130 trillion in assets,s,
25 promised to use its capital to hit net-zero emissions targetss
for investments by 2050. But will they? And how quickly?
Also keep an eye on whether companies will be compelled to shift their business practices to
meet a new pledge made in Glasgow to reduce deforestation. That impacts the supply chains
of many industries, ranging from the palm oil used in lipstick, to soy for chicken feed.
30 And finally, fourth, compensation. One of the most bitterly contested issues in Glasgow
was a demand for funding from rich, industrialized nations mainly responsible for the warming
of the atmosphere to poor, climate vulnerable countries who bear little responsibility for
the problem. Rich countries, including those of the European Union and the United States,
pushed back against the idea of new loss and damage compensation, as it’s known. They
35 agreed to have a “dialogue” in the future. Demands are likely to intensify before the next
global climate summit scheduled.

Yet, this nuanced message may not be filtering through to consumers, especially as
40 many other brands do describe recycled fabrics as sustainable. Because of this, George
Harding-Rolls, campaigns adviser at the Changing Markets Foundation, warns us that “if you
are recycling synthetics, that doesn’t get rid of the microplastics problem. Fibres continue
shedding from recycled plastic yarns just as much as from virgin yarns.”

race as just another attribute, no more important than the cut of a friend’s clothes.
But the real world keeps intruding. “As a generation, we don’t acknowledge color, but

says. “If you’re a person, you are who you are.” But, as their generation matures, these young
people are recognizing just how much race still matters to society. “I don’t think racism ever
left,” says Izabelle Denize, 22. “I think, with every decade, it transforms into something really
10 different.” Esther agrees. She was born in Ghana and now lives in the Bronx with her mother.
Teachers at Esther’s school regularly tell her and her classmates that they can be anything
they want to be, but she isn’t so sure that all of the adults in her life actually believe that.
Howard Ross, author of the book Everyday Bias, says young people are likely as surprised
by recent racially charged events as anyone. “This is a generation of people who are now
15 saying, ‘Wait a second, we thought this was over. We were told this was over. We thought we
were moving forward, and now we see the same old stuff happening.’”
In his book, Ross notes that humans are “consistently and profoundly biased”. The fact
that we are drawn towards each other is because our brain feels very comfortable with
people like ourselves, because we know what to expect. We can do this based on the music
20 we listen to or the clothes we wear. “That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but what’s troubling
is when that’s the only connection we have,” Ross says.
Researcher Danah Boyd notes that even though “teens do work to maintain cross-racial
friendships, they’re more likely to interact with people of the same race in class, in the
lunchroom and online.” When Boyd visited one Los Angeles high school, she recalled: “I
25 was initially delighted by how integrated the school appeared to be.” But during lunch and
between classes, “the school’s diversity dissolved as peers clustered along racial and ethnic
lines.”
Moreover, social divisions, including racial ones, “are not disappearing simply because
people have access to technology,” Boyd says. “Tools that enable communication do not
30 sweep away distrust, hatred and prejudice.” The mere existence of new technology is not
a silver bullet – it does not solve problems. In fact, their construction typically reinforces
existing social divisions.

posted on your class webpage.
Remember to:
• explain the meaning of the statement in your own words;
• write how you feel about it and justify it with reasons and examples.
“So often I look at the huge world problems and think: ‘What a shame, but I don’t

Voice of youth
I am Gitanjali Rao, a student, an activist,
innovator and an author. I believe in the use
of empathy to advocate for a people-centred
approach to invention and problem-solving.
5 From the age of 6 or 7, I was taught to take
risks and raise my voice or try solutions if I
see something wrong. Slowly, my teachers
encouraged me and I took on some complex
problems to solve with simple solutions.
10 From cyberbullying to education equality,
I believe that each one of us can take small
steps to address these problems with whatever
talents we have. While I started slow, I made it
a mission to create global awareness of these
15 issues we face as a community. My long-term
vision is to introduce innovation tools and
techniques earlier in our education and in the
curriculum across the world so that everybody
can develop ideas and use science as a catalyst
20 for social impact and change.
Smiles affect me. They’re contagious and have a ripple effect. My innovation workshops
have already impacted over 55,000 students and have resulted in other innovations. Imagine
the ripple effect if each one of us takes our idea and solution to reality. I have received heart-
warming responses of encouragement and inspiration; these are invaluable for me.
25 Helping the community is rewarding in many ways. Things that I have taken for granted,
such as basic school necessities and qualified teachers, are not easily available everywhere.
They are a luxury. Reaching out to others helped me learn about different cultures, tolerance
levels and the value of hard work. It warms my heart to see these students’ responses that
they were unaware of certain options, resources and tools available. I learned the importance
30 of communicating effectively to diverse groups of individuals with varied backgrounds and
being humble enough to accept the fact that they have a lot to teach me. I believe we stop
growing when we stop learning. The feedback I get through social media makes me want to
do better, empathize with the needs of many who are just looking for an opportunity and
help cultivate the next generation of innovation leaders.
35 As a student with my own academic plan, time management has been tough. I am still
learning the perfect balance and do not have a magic formula. To tackle that, my future plans
include conducting more sessions, expanding the reach to more underdeveloped areas of
the world and developing local chapters that make my mission self-sustaining beyond me
and my schedule.
40 I believe we have contributed to a better future for all of us. Innovation is a necessity
and not a luxury anymore, and I hope to keep taking risks and dreaming big to mandate an
innovation curriculum in our early education no matter the economic status or background
we are born into.

(B) help students make wiser choices for the future.
(C) provide disadvantaged students with further support.
Part B – Reading
You are going to read a text on the future of jobs.
In August 2020, jobless claims had been approaching 55 million in the USA, since the
start of the coronavirus pandemic. Due to a very slow recovery, it’s projected that thousands
of jobs are unlikely to ever return. In addition to fewer jobs being available in certain
sectors, other employment sectors as a whole are at risk – and many were at risk long
5 before COVID-19, as we know. The technology that makes our jobs easier may soon make
some jobs scarce. Sophisticated software, robotics, automation, artificial intelligence and
changing trends threaten the livelihoods of everyone in the same way – from taxi drivers and
restaurant servers to computer programmers and librarians. These technical innovations will
soon render many longstanding skills and trades obsolete.
10 Many of the jobs most likely to disappear are among the last well-paying jobs one
can get with only a high school diploma. Low-paying, unskilled jobs with low educational
entry barriers are most susceptible to automation. These are the jobs that robots will do.
Manufacturing will require greater technical skills to operate and programme computers.
Those who lose their jobs will largely be shut out of the high-paying, highly skilled jobs that
15 remain, many of which will go to specialists tasked with tending to and improving upon the
very machines and programmes that replaced the human workers.
Here’s a look at four careers – among many – that will probably disappear over the next
50 years.
Pilot
20 In 2016, the New York Post reported that pilots were
likely to be replaced by robots. In fact, pilots generally
assume control of their airplanes only during take-off
and landing. These tasks, however, are being taught to
computers, and it’s likely that both humans and cargo
25 will soon be shuttled around in pilotless planes. The very
thought of this happening is scary to many.
Fast-food worker
Fast-food restaurants are essentially assembly lines.
Just as robots are beginning to dominate the assembly
30 lines that churn out engines, so, too, will the ones that
churn out burgers and fries. Robots will soon run the
ƐŚŽǁĂƚŽŶĞEĞǁzŽƌŬŝƚLJ^ŚĂŬĞ^ŚĂĐŬ͘
Referee
In 2018, the Daily Star predicted that giant leaps
35 in artificial intelligence would lead computers forcing
European soccer referees out of their jobs by 2030. Even
the commissioner of Major League Baseball believes that
flawlessly accurate computers will soon be available to
replace umpires.
40 Disc jockey
The DJ booth has always been one of the most
coveted spots in the nightclub. Thanks to services like
iTunes and Spotify, however, many of those booths are
already operated by computers. Many venues’ managers
45 are already asking themselves why they should pay to
hire disc jockeys to spin tunes when they could just use
their computers.

Part B – Reading
You are going to read a text about the future of jobs.
The pandemic was able to shift the conversation around flexible working from workplaces
to everywhere. It also moved this conversation forward by about 10 years, say experts. But
where do we go from here?
“The boundaries of nine-to-five are long, long gone. The pandemic just accelerated the
5 flexibility that was happening anyway, and it will increase from now on. Employees can be
more authentic, be themselves,” says Cecile Leroux, a workforce expert who is speaking from
a wood-beamed farmhouse kitchen in Provence, where the Internet connection is decent
and she has opted to spend a month.
But the flexibility afforded by technology hasn’t been entirely beneficial, says Leroux.
10 Some remote workers are struggling to create boundaries, whether in time, in space or in

have increased. “Employers must help staff put life before work, or this level of burnout will
continue,” says Leroux. “That’s why we need a change to what we call life-work technology,
which allows an awareness of people’s quality of life.”
15 “We need to remind organizations of the flexibility which existed prior to the pandemic,
and then explore how to go beyond that, looking at job design to incorporate greater
flexibility,” she says. The use of technology, which is part of that flexibility, can allow staff
to feel more engaged and to collaborate more easily. Online meetings have allowed more
people to be included, and remote working definitely helps employees who feel marginalized
20 in an office.
But will this shift make for a healthier work-life balance? According to Leroux, rather than
seeking an artificial division, we should be looking at overall satisfaction, the ability to deal
with the demands of work and of life outside work. “It’s the ability to devote the time and
energy you want to all those different elements,” she says. This is what Leroux means when
25 she refers to “life-work”, rather than the more frequently used “work-life”. She explains life-
work as “acknowledging you have a life and it’s not just about work.”
This is particularly pertinent for frontline staff who work hourly shift after hourly shift
and must be present to do their jobs. While they may not be able to benefit from remote
working, it is possible for employers to provide them with not only more control over their
30 schedules, but also greater flexibility, which is what they want for now. This type of control
and flexibility is something “organizations are going to have to get creative at offering,”
says Leroux. And, while technology won’t create flexibility alone, she adds, it can make a
difference if used well.

Hannah
I had a great time these holidays! I enjoy the outdoors and trekking. It’s one of my favourite activities.
It just gives me a sense of freedom that I can’t get on crowded beaches.
Tim
After a whole year of hard work at school, the last thing I want is to go out. Of course, I like hanging out
with my friends, but I can do that from home — all I need is my console!
Marlene
There is nothing like getting a good tan and enjoying the company of our friends! I usually go camping,
but this year my friends and I had a great week by the coast.
Part 2
Adam: In terms of shopping and fashion, what makes your generation different from older generations?
Mary: One important thing is that the Internet is changing the way we shop a lot. We can now buy all
the clothes we want with the click of a mouse.
Annie: Style has merged into other areas besides clothing: hair, make-up, accessories, shoes... Fashion
is undefined, leaving teens liberated in all they can wear. Clothing has become more than the essentials:
it has branched out to an art form, a means of self-expression.
William: Our generation has a tendency to take styles too far. We have become a lot more comfortable
wearing funky clothes regardless of what anyone else is wearing, and this is much more acceptable
than before.

Module 3, Listening into Speaking
Anton
I come from Romania and I’ve been living in Portugal for five years. It was really difficult at first.
I arrived here when I was 12 and I remember how difficult it was to go to school because I couldn’t
understand a word of Portuguese and I really felt lost during those first times. I met a couple of other
students who also came from Romania and they really helped me out. Portuguese people are nice, but
it is really difficult to mix. Even though I was never mistreated, I can’t say I feel really integrated. Most
of my friends are Romanian and I still speak my mother tongue at home. I think a real multicultural
society shouldn’t be like this, but I think people have the tendency to look for the comfort of their
peers. I don’t think we can avoid it. I love travelling to Romania in the summer. I especially enjoy visiting
my grandparents. I miss them a lot, but my life and my future are here now. Studying and working
conditions are much better.
Lídia
I’m Portuguese, but my parents emigrated to the UK when I was 6, so I think I’m more British than
Portuguese. I missed my grandparents when I came, but now they visit very often and I have got
used to it. I have lots of friends at school, but most of them are from other nationalities. It’s great
because I get to know lots of different cultures and I think that makes me a better person. I guess it’s
easier to mix with people that understand our position. I also have British friends, though. I love the
cultural activities we can find here. There is always something going on. My parents want to go back
to Portugal, but I’m planning to go to university here. I like travelling to Portugal, but living there is not
really part of my plans. Even though the weather is much better than in the UK!
Gathii
I’m originally from Kenya, but I’ve been living in the US for quite a while, actually since I was 10. I like it
here, even though sometimes I feel a bit different, which is not very comfortable. My parents are really
hardworking and we have a nice life. They want me to go to university, but, to tell you the truth, I want
to travel the world. My name means traveller or wanderer, and I think it really suits my spirit. I don’t
like feeling trapped in a place, even when it’s America with its amazing diversity.
Module 1, Test 2
Bea
Shopping is not exactly one of my favourite things. I only shop when I need something. I buy mostly
stationery. I’m into arts, so that’s really what I like buying. I absolutely hate going to shopping centres.
They’re overcrowded and noisy – I prefer the outdoors. I enjoy shopping on my own. That doesn’t
mean I don’t like hanging out with my friends. I do. What’s good about the modern world is that I can
do my shopping without getting out of the house and having to talk to lots of people. That is great!
Mark
I think I can easily control myself when I go shopping. I don’t like spending money on things that I
don’t need. I’m a self-contained shopper who likes saving for a rainy day. The best thing about going
shopping, for me, is hanging out with the gang. I’m not a mall rat or anything – I actually prefer the
open air –, but we usually meet at the mall, grab a sandwich and talk. Then, if we need something, we
go shopping. There’s only one thing I can’t resist. I’ve got this vinyl collection I inherited from my mom.
I always like to add something to it when I go to the mall. Besides, the clerk at the record store is a very
friendly old man and he loves talking about the old days. I love talking to him.
Sophie
I’m far from being a shopaholic. I believe shopping is a necessity, not a leisure activity. If we go to a
shopping centre at weekends, they’re crowded with families. I don’t get it: why not go to a park or a
museum instead? Nowadays, we don’t really need to have many things. Why is having a wardrobe full
of clothes or owning the latest mobile phone important? We need to be sensible and think about the
environmental consequences of consumerism. Buying locally, for example, is essential. I even avoid
going to big supermarkets – my father and I buy food from a local grocery. Otherwise, I go to flea
markets and buy whatever I need. People are really nice there and it’s always great to have a chat.
Module 2, Test 1
Kevin Patel (Founder, One Up Action): Our generation should be the last generation to be fighting the
climate crisis.
Jamie Margolin (Founder, Zero Hour): Seeing my dream come true, seeing so many young people in
the streets demanding everything, is not only inspirational and amazing, but it literally is, at least for
me, a dream come true.
Zina Precht-Rodriguez (Press and Media Fellow, Sunrise Movement): I knew that it was my duty to
work on this for the rest of my life until we got this fight done. And I think it’s similar to a lot of young
people and that they feel like this is a moral calling for them in a sense.
Kevin Patel: I started five years ago because I saw, in my city of Los Angeles, we were being affected
by air pollution. And learning about that, seeing how that affects our health, how students are getting
asthma, how they’re getting heart palpitations and how they’re getting other heart issues, it was
stemming from those – from the climate crisis.
Jamie Margolin: Back in 2017, I had a dream of young people mobilizing for climate. And I had this
vision especially after the disasters of Hurricane Maria, the disasters of the wildfires, especially the
wildfire smog from Canada that blew over my city of Seattle and made it very hard to breathe, and
made the city just coated in this almost apocalyptic mist.
We formed this organization called Zero Hour and, over the course of a year, we built up the momentum,
we built up the necessary political atmosphere in order to have the youth climate marches on July 21st
2018 and in 25 cities around the world. And then, a month later, Greta Thunberg started her school
strike for climate, and the school strike for climate movement came off the back of that.
Zina Precht-Rodriguez: I think that I am super lucky in that I have the ability to work full-time on
climate, and it’s really important to remember that, for a lot of people, they can’t strike – they can’t
just leave work or leave school because they would face a significant fear of economic and political
backlash.
We’re fighting in the climate movement and we’re building the bridge between protest, organizing and
electoral politics. And we’re fighting for a Green New Deal because we know that that’s going to bring
in a new era in our society of justice and of equity in climate.
Hakim Evans (Youth Fundraising Advisory Board, Alliance for Climate): Education is very important
in this specific time because of the climate crisis, and education on the climate crisis needs to be
implemented in formal education. The turning point that helped me to define myself as a climate
leader was at the People’s Climate March, where I saw a vast amount of people turn out for issues that
intersect with climate change. It’s really helped me to boil the climate crisis down as a fight for what
we love and want to protect.
Kevin Patel: Young people, frontline communities and indigenous communities are fighting on the
frontlines every single day on these issues. To think that we, as young people, have to keep fighting to
have a livable future, or to even have a future, is wrong. And I think we need to; politicians need to act
now because we don’t have time left.
Zina Precht-Rodriguez: I definitely feel a sense of empowerment just from the community within the
organization and the movement at large. It’s quite, like, frustrating and fearful to think about these
things every day and to be doing this work. But, at the same time, so much of the work is just
about channelling these emotions we feel and, when we have big wins like we have had just in the past
year, it’s extremely just empowering to know that, like, the work that we’re doing is actually paying off.
Jamie Margolin: Well, I always describe the movement as an ecosystem. You know, in the forest,
the birds, the worms, the trees, they all serve their own unique purpose. They work together and
they can’t replace each other, but they work in harmony with each other. And so, I would say find
what you’re already good at. If you’re really good at technology or computer programming, if
you’re really good at art or music or dance, if you’re really good at reading and writing – find what
it is that you are good at and apply that skill to the movement because we need artists in this
movement, we need people who know about technology in this movement, we need organizers, we
need writers, we need all of the different talents in the movement. So, I’d say find what you already
do which you are already good at and apply that into an organizational space.

Module 2, Test 2
It is a common assumption that younger generations – Gen Z and millennials – are more greatly
concerned with global issues. Born in the digital age, these generations are seen to be more health-
conscious, socially aware and environmentally responsible. This narrative is consistently reiterated by
the media who frequently highlight the willingness of these younger generations to stand up for what
they consider important.
In a GreenBiz report, about 3 in 4 young people support public protests to raise awareness of issues,
with the Black Lives Matter movement cited as an example of the next generation raising their voices
on the issues that matter. This is in comparison to their older counterparts, who are perceived to be
less vocal and less optimistic about the future.
Our understanding of these generational differences is particularly important when considering how
businesses and brands can best connect with consumers to both encourage and activate their support
for a healthier and more sustainable future.
This year’s research from GlobeScan has helped to provide a deeper understanding of how generations
differ in their opinions, experience and attitudes toward sustainability. Designed in collaboration with
a range of partners, including CVS Health, IKEA, PepsiCo, Visa and WWF International, this research
surveyed 27,000 people of all ages across 27 markets to explore their sentiment around healthier,
more sustainable lifestyles.
One takeaway from the research is that, globally, younger generations are more likely to feel ashamed
(“very often” or “often”) about living lifestyles that are unhealthy and are not environmentally friendly,
compared to their older peers.
With this in mind, it is not surprising that younger generations are also more interested in changing
their behaviours to become healthier and more sustainable in their day-to-day lives. Gen Z are the
most likely to say they desire to change their lifestyles to be healthier, more environmentally friendly
and helpful to others, followed by millennials.
A similar pattern persists when looking at actions taken in the past year, with Gen Z consumers claiming
to have made some or major changes to be more environmentally friendly (74 percent), healthier (80
percent) and more helpful to others (77 percent).
Despite this, the gap between actions taken and the desire to change remains significant in all age
groups, representing a key challenge for brands and businesses which must be overcome to activate
positive change.
Perhaps being conscious of this gap, Gen Z and millennials are the most self-critical. They believe they
have the capacity to do more than what they are doing and are also more likely to believe that what is
good for them may not be good for the environment.
For Gen Z and millennials, there is a clear intention to find out more, with a significant proportion
claiming to have looked for information related to healthier and more environmentally-friendly
lifestyles in the past year. These generations are also more likely to be inspired by online influencers or
celebrities to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
The next generation is looking for brands to lead the way – 81 per cent of those under 30 believe
brands are an essential part of the solution for the global challenges facing humanity today.
In addition, they want brands to create change with them, not just for them – 85 per cent want to
share ideas and experiences with brands to develop better solutions.
And they will reward brands that take responsibility for their role in creating the change they seek
– 93 percent of corporate employees under 30 agree that the more socially and environmentally
responsible their companies become, the more motivated and loyal they will be as employees.

Module 3, Test 1
Dania Rivas, 16
Well, I’d say diversity is like having a bunch of people from different religions, genders, views and
nationalities, people from different places of the world coming together to form a different community.
My group, in particular, is actually very diverse and that impacts me in a good way because I get to see
like my friends from different countries and I get to go to their birthday parties or their homes and see
their festivities and the lifestyle they have. It’s really interesting. I know our parents sometimes don’t
understand this, but accepting differences is the way forward and they must acknowledge that. I think
school is really important in the teaching of multicultural values.
Meaghan Nally, 16
Diversity is when a group of people have different views, different races, different ethnicities, different
backgrounds, but they’re all in one group and they’re all together. So they’re one, but they’re all
different, which contributes to the success of a group. Getting to know people with different origins
has also made me a better person. I have a better appreciation for how other people live around the
world, I’m more sensitive to world events and it’s just interesting getting different ideas and seeing
different cultures. It’s a shame that not all people in my generation understand this, but I guess this is
something that can’t really be taught at schools.
Tommy Yoe, 16
Diversity is simply something that makes you different from other human beings whether it be
orientation, gender, race or hair colour, or being a Mormon. That basically means we are all different
in one way or another. And that’s good. Life is better when it’s not black and white. Differences bring
lots of shades and colours! I’m glad young people nowadays know this!

Module 3, Test 2
I’m a very curious person, if that’s one thing you need to know about me. I love learning about the
environment, ecology… everything is just of such interest to me. I just like learning in general, so
everything in school is actually super fun.
I cannot see a world filled with kindness without science and technology being involved.
I created a device called Tethys. Each and every one of us have the right to know what is in our water
and have access to clean drinking water, and this fully functional device can help with that.
Tethys is a device that detects lead in drinking water faster and more inexpensive than the current
methods out there today. It’s based on carbon nanotube sensor technology and provides all the results
to your mobile phone on an app that I created.
My inspiration behind it was actually the Flint water crisis. It was just so unacceptable that kids my age
were essentially drinking a poison every day, and I realized that something really needed to be done
to help solve that problem.
I don’t think I can say there was like an aha moment where I was like, “This is what I want to do.” It was
rather just like this continuous like learning and loving more about stem and science and technology.
But I can tell you a huge changing moment in my life was about, I want to say when I was four or five
years old. My uncle got me a chemistry kit and I felt the need to finish the whole thing in one day, and
I did.
A lot of my devices are based on biology, chemistry, physics, computational method. This process is
usually spread over a couple of months, even years. It’s just based on how I feel about it and how I get
inspired by something. I don’t force myself through the process, I don’t do anything to accelerate it.
I do it at a pace which makes me feel excited and makes me want to keep going. You see, that’s the
biggest thing about innovation: if you don’t have that motivation and drive to keep going, it’s going to
be dry. It’s not going to be something you enjoy doing or anybody else is going to enjoy hearing about.
2020 has really helped me be a kid. Obviously, I do need fresh air, so I go on bike rides a lot. I fence.
I did a lot of virtual fencing. I fenced a lot of pillows. I baked a lot. An insane amount. Calligraphy is now
a thing I do.
Our family is huge, like world traveling family. I’ve been to a lot of countries. I want to say about
14. Where I want to go? I know we’re not gonna go here anytime soon, but MadagascarĂŶĚŝƚΖƐ
such a cool place! I’m just obsessed with animals and free, wild, roaming things. The dinosaurs
are probably my favourite animal hands down. There’s so many of them and they’re so
cool. If someone figures out how to make dinosaurs come back to life, please call me or email me.
I can tell you a couple lasting words that stayed with me. Ms Stockdale, who was my teacher when
I was in second grade, the first time she met me she told me that I was going to change the world.
I’ve been wanting to change the world, and hopefully I am changing the world.

Module 4, Test 1
Every year, the Australian Taxation Office releases a report that includes the highest earning occupations
in Australia. These are mostly in the medical, legal and financial sectors. This information is commonly
used by school career advisers, together with other career development material, to help teenagers
make career choices.
But the nature of work is changing rapidly under the fourth industrial revolution, which was driven
by disruptive technologies, such as automation, artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning and
digitalization. And this new revolution is already having an impact on current jobs. Despite young
people generally completing more years of formal education than their parents, many are struggling
to find relevant and consistent employment.
The change is expected to lead to the complete loss of some jobs (such as those in repetitive, production-
line manufacturing), the need for significant reskilling in other jobs (such as pilots and radiologists) and
the creation of completely new ones (such as robot trainers and big data analysts).
Governments are increasingly worried about the mismatch between what societies and industries
demand versus what education systems supply. The OECD calls for a partnership between employers and
school career advisers. Guidance that starts early challenges stereotyping (based on gender and socio-
economic status). Successful career guidance results in better economic, education and social outcomes.
The Australian government developed a National Career Education Strategy in 2019, after working with
the state and territory education, business and industry, and career education groups. This aims to
support school students to make better informed future study and career choices. While this is a good
first step, we need better support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, especially those in
regional, rural and remote locations – as well as female students interested in participating in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics jobs.
This year’s OECD study found countries like Austria and Germany, which had a much lower concentration
of 20th-century careers, had high-quality vocational education and training (VET) programmes available
for people from a young age. This reinforces research findings and policy reviews that call for closer
collaboration between the Australian VET sector and industry. It also shows why governments should
start considering higher investment in the sector in terms of training and developing skills which are
relevant for disruptive technologies.
Exposing school students to relatively simple and low-cost career development activities, like attending
job fairs, has been shown to significantly increase awareness of different occupations and reduce
career concentration. There isn’t a consensus among employers on how disruptive technologies will
impact on their organizations and they are not willing to invest heavily in specific skills and training.
But employers still have a very important role in preparing students with the skills to succeed in the
future. The OECD study actively encourages employer engagement in education by, for example,
participating in activities arranged by schools, such as careers-insight talks, subject talks, enterprise
competitions, mentoring, workplace visits, job shadowing and short work placements.

Module 4, Test 2
With work patterns changing fast, especially in the past 18 months, most organizations are fully focused
on what comes next. What should the new world of work look like? How should hybrid working models
operate in practice? And what should employers be aiming for?
Dan Schawbel, managing partner of Workplace Intelligence says: “Companies’ leaders will always have
to evaluate their workforce skills every few months, because things can change. So, being fast and
adaptable is critical. No leader will make the right decision all of the time. The biggest challenge is
knowing what to do and when to do it.”
Peter Harte, vice president of Ultimate Kronos Group, says: “Companies need to do a full digital
assessment to see if they have the tools to support hybrid working. This means making sure workers
can access the systems that they need anywhere and in a safe way. Once that’s done, technology can
be used to improve people’s working lives and make them feel more connected to the company.”
Dan Schawbel says: “One of the biggest things I’ve seen lately is that not all voices in the workplace
are heard equally. While the employee voice is becoming more important, it’s easy for employers to
ignore certain voices.” He says that essential workers and younger people aren’t heard often enough.
“If someone doesn’t feel they’re being treated fairly or heard equally, they’re more likely to leave, and
replacing them is time-consuming and expensive.”
In a report on the employee voice by The Workforce Institute, 83% of UK employees surveyed felt
that people at their organization were not heard fairly or equally and nearly half (46%) said that
underrepresented voices remained undervalued by employers. However, they said they didn’t feel the
same in other areas.
Dan Schawbel says the best way to hear employee voices is by using short, quick surveys that are sent
to staff regularly. Peter Harte agrees, adding: “If people feel fairly treated and that they can contribute
to ideas, teams will be stronger and companies will succeed.” He says that thinking of technology as
something that is designed to serve people is essential to becoming a people-oriented company –
particularly as flexible and hybrid working become strong.
In a survey of 4,000 people, conducted by Workplace Intelligence, 38% of respondents are worried
that their employers will go back to the “old way” of operating as soon as possible. This is despite 86%
saying they enjoyed the benefits of the new technologies. So, while many employees were impressed
by their employers’ ability to respond quickly to the need for new technologies, many now fear going
backwards.
We can conclude that, if employers want to succeed, they need an engaged workforce. It might not be
possible to predict how the world of work will change in the future, but a strong sense of engagement
and adaptability will be a crucial part of success – whatever that ends up looking like. One thing is for
sure, now organizations know they have to think about the well-being of employees and how they
really feel.
